Another Gay Movie (2006) 50% 1/4 EDIT “” – Boston Globe Nov 24, 2011 Full Review The Singing Revolution (2006) 83% 2/4 EDIT “” – Boston Globe Nov 24, 2011 Full Review Shooting Dogs (2005) 85% 3/4 EDIT “” – Boston Globe Nov 24, 2011 Full Review The Architect (2006) 11% 2/4 EDIT “” – Boston Globe Nov 24, 2011 Full Review Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009) 3% 1/4 EDIT “This is a movie for the overcaffeinated, undereducated teenager in all of us.” – Boston Globe Mar 2, 2009 Full Review Made in China (2009) 43% 3/4 EDIT “Chandni Chowk to China is Bollywood's all-singing, all-dancing, all-Hindi bid to conquer America.” – Boston Globe Jan 16, 2009 Full Review Quarantine (2008) 56% .5/4 EDIT “I have seen many execrable films -- Plan 9 From Outer Space, Disaster Movie, Batman & Robin -- but never has a movie made me so physically ill.” – Boston Globe Oct 13, 2008 Full Review The Pool (2007) 94% 3.5/4 EDIT “Many directors claim to value local color, but few have gone as far, or achieved such impressive results, as has Chris Smith in The Pool.” – Boston Globe Oct 3, 2008 Full Review Fireproof (2008) 38% 0.5/4 EDIT “With the production values of a straight-to-video cheapie and the script of a mediocre soap opera, Fireproof is good for just about one thing: dousing whatever flames might be left in your marriage.” – Boston Globe Sep 29, 2008 Full Review Beautiful Losers (2008) 62% 4/4 EDIT “One of the year's best documentaries.” – Boston Globe Sep 26, 2008 Full Review Red Roses and Petrol (2003) 7% 3/4 EDIT “Because Petrol is so grim, its few moments of repentance and reconciliation don't feel as contrived as they might otherwise; if any film has earned the right to be sentimental, it's this one.” – Boston Globe Sep 12, 2008 Full Review Disaster Movie (2008) 1% .5/4 EDIT “No one spoofed in the film -- yes, including Jessica Simpson -- is more worthy of derision than the people responsible for making it.” – Boston Globe Sep 2, 2008 Full Review A Jihad for Love (2007) 78% 3/4 EDIT “Makes an invaluable contribution by recording the names, faces, and stories of gay men and women struggling to reconcile their religion with their sexuality.” – Boston Globe Jun 27, 2008 Full Review The Prince Contemplating His Soul (2005) 58% 2/4 EDIT “Perhaps inevitably, the story and characters in Bab'Aziz never rival the interest of its photography.” – Boston Globe Apr 25, 2008 Full Review Shutter (2008) 11% 2/4 EDIT “If Shutter is any indication, the reputation of professional photographers is still on the wane. Not only are photographs creepy, the film suggests, but so are photographers.” – Boston Globe Mar 24, 2008 Full Review Blood and Chocolate (2007) 10% EDIT “The city ends up being more interesting than the story or characters. Too bad we can barely see it.” – Boston Globe Dec 3, 2007 Full Review The Page Turner (2006) 77% 2/4 EDIT “The stakes in this story seem too low to justify its audience's attention. If The Page Turner were a novel, it would hardly be a page turner. Why should we hold films to a lower standard?” – Boston Globe Apr 20, 2007 Full Review The Aryan Couple (2004) 12% 1.5/4 EDIT “Mainly notable for its inappropriate, blithe sentimentality. In another film this would be the usual Hollywood hokum. In a film about the most serious subject imaginable, it amounts to moral idiocy.” – Boston Globe Oct 6, 2006 Full Review Material Girls (2006) 4% EDIT “It succeeds on its own terms. These days, even pre teens live in a material world.” – Boston Globe Aug 21, 2006 Full Review Lower City (2005) 60% 2/4 EDIT “Everyone involved in the film seems better than the material.” – Boston Globe Aug 12, 2006 Full Review Saint Ralph (2004) 65% 1.5/4 EDIT “It's hard to dislike schmaltz as mild as Saint Ralph, but let's try: The film is as bland as a communion wafer, sentimental as a Christmas homily, and predictable as the liturgy.” – Houston Chronicle Aug 5, 2005 Full Review Dark Water (2005) 47% 2/4 EDIT “Salles seems too uncomfortable with the fantastic to get full value from the creeps and jumps his camerawork delivers.” – Houston Chronicle Jul 8, 2005 Full Review Rebound (2005) 15% 1/4 EDIT “Rebound's reiteration of the Mighty Ducks paradigm of kiddie sports movies often feels tediously academic as it scrambles to touch all the generic bases.” – Houston Chronicle Jul 1, 2005 Full Review
